In listening to the media these days adverbs are on the way out. "She ran out of the room angrily" and the like, have become: "She ran out angry". the -ly is rapidly disappearing. Watch for it. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: seriatim LukeJavan8 #181315 12/29/2008 5:30 PM Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel zmjezhd Carpal Tunnel Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 3,290 R'lyeh Hmm. To me there seems to be a subtle difference between (1a) and (1b): 1a. She ran out of the room angry. 1b. She ran out of the room angrily. Which may be paraphrased as in (2a) and (2b): 2a. She ran our of the room while she was angry. 2b. She ran out of the room in an angry manner. Ceci n'est pas un seing.

I can go down to the local Mall*Wart and buy a giant lawn Santa Claus that was made in China and I would be shopping locally. If I go to the Only In Ithaca store on the Commons and buy a lawn elf that was made by a guy in a workshop over on S. Corn I would be shopping local.
